Milan transfer market, there are fewer and fewer days until the deadline and the Devil still has to sell some surplus players. Besides the 'case' of Rafael Leão, which is a story on its own, there are still Tomori, Fofana and Santiago Giménez who are not part of Ruben Amorim's project and should be transferred by 1 September. Regarding the Mexican striker, Porto is still involved in a deal that seemed one step from completion, but it slowed after the Portuguese side's first offer. A free loan with an option to buy, which could become an obligation under certain conditions, set at a fee of 15 million euros. The amount was considered too low by Milan.

Journalist Matteo Moretto updated on X about the negotiation:

The Giménez crisis and Amorim's attacking hierarchy

Arriving as the big signing of the 2025 winter market, the Mexican has never managed to make a big impact with the red-and-black shirt, especially in the last season. Beyond the injury and ankle surgery, Santiago Giménez has faced many difficulties, scoring only one goal in the Coppa Italia. His last Serie A goal dates back to May 2025 (a brace against Bologna). In short, a divorce that now seems inevitable between the Mexican and Milan, but first the final deal with Porto must be found.
